Get to Know Touched by Type 1
We follow a 3-prong approach to supporting our community & those living with Type 1 Diabetes.
Inspire Others
For those living with the daily reality of Type 1 Diabetes, we offer a supportive community with many interactive programs and creative resources designed to empower one to thrive with T1D.
Whether it’s Dancing for Diabetes that attracts thousands or Golfing Fore Diabetes, you can expect Touched by Type 1 to deliver. Our events are fun, mission-oriented, and inclusive so that all members of our community can come together to support one another.
Elevate Awareness
Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Approximately 1.9 million American children and adults have Type 1 Diabetes. We participate in a variety of events and fundraisers to help better educate our community & spread awareness so that one day we find a cure.
Raise Funds
We make getting involved easy! You can easily attend one of our many events, volunteer your time or donate online. Consider assisting us in our mission to elevate awareness about the realities of living with Type 1 Diabetes.
And last but certainly not least, you can now shop online to access some of our favorite gear. Whether it's t-shirts or stickers, shopping our swag is another great way to help spread awareness and honor the cause!
